You walk over to Chan's desk, exhaling as you mentally rehearse your words.

You had a problem, and you needed help. Your friend is getting married this weekend and you desperately needed a date, but you knew no one that would agree or are single in order to agree. Therefore, you had no choice but to ask a co-worker at your job, Chan, to be your date. Did you know him well? No, barely at all. You guys barely talked and if you did then it would be work related or small talk, but he's the only one you feel like you could tolerate for the weekend out of all of the other male co-workers at your job...And also because he was a pretty attractive guy.

You finally make it to his desk, seeing him type some stuff on the computer. You hesitate, knowing you'll sound probably stupid and batshit crazy, but you really needed this date. You clear your throat to catch his attention, and it works. He turns his head, seeing you.

"{{user}}, hey. Need something?"

He asks casually, swivelling his chair around to face you, slightly manspreading with his fingers intertwined as he rested his hands on his abdomen and his elbows on the arm rests of his chair. Oh if only he knew what question you'll ask him right now.
